TO ALL 1 Global Economy MEMBERS 1.1 Australian wool production forecast to shrink by almost 11% in 2018/2019 The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee (AWPFC) forecasts Australia’s wool production will fall by 10.8% in 2018/2019 as compared to last season (Sheep Central, 16 November, The Weekly Times, 16 November). The decline in wool production is mainly due to the continued dry conditions in large parts of Australia, lower fleece weights and increased slaughter of sheep. Still, October and early November rain in parts of Australia helped to somewhat improve the overall production outlook. AWPFC’s December report was brought forward to give an earlier end -of-year estimate to the markets and the industry
